If you are a musician or just a lover of music, playing music too loudly on a regular basis can lead to problems of hearing loss. For example, if you're one of those people who filled in a second boom "car box" with the music turned up should consider turning off the music in the background a little 'how. The "boom-box car 'can be up to 130 decibels of sound which is very similar, if not above the audible threshold of human ear pain. A typical value for thisThreshold of pain is 120 decibels. To keep things in perspective, proposed a soft whisper is about 30 decibels, while a train is about 100 decibels. The average rock concert is about 120 decibels, which is the legal threshold of pain. On a personal note, I wear ear plugs to every concert I attended as a precaution because prolonged exposure to excessive pressure on the threshold of pain can cause physical damage, the possibility of a sound effect. It 'important to note thatInduced hearing loss is permanent.

Hearing loss is measured by the amount of losses that are called decibels (dB) hearing level (HL). Decibels are like degrees of a thermometer. With increasing temperature, bringing the number of degrees. Since the volume, the greater the number of decibels. A normal conversation is typically 45-55 dB bandwidth. Crying of a child is about 60 dB and an intense downtown traffic can be almost painful at 90 dB. If you hear the noise0-25 dB most of the time, his hearing is quite normal, and you probably do not need help, although it could increase your skills in certain situations. If you can only hear sounds above 25 dB HL, your loss will be mild, moderate or severe. These conditions will be discussed in detail in the next section.

Hearing loss can be divided mainly in four ways: easy, medium, heavy and insensitive. Slight losses is considered a loss of up to 40 decibels, which usually leads toDifficulty hearing normal conversation. Moderate hearing loss is a loss of 40 to 60 decibels. This usually means that the voices are raised for the deaf person needs. It's heavy losses, the loss of 60 decibels, requires people to write for the deaf person. According to the World Health Organization, the term "deaf should be applied only to people with disabilities so severe that they can not benefit from sound amplification or hearing aidHelp.

Even the slightest hearing loss can make life difficult. Even if the conversation you hear at low frequencies, which means that usually the lower voices, is much more difficult to light with a cast higher. This is because, with a typical loss, the ability to hear high tones, was the first to go, which means it will be difficult to hear the birds or the voices of women. As the problem worsens, occupied the loss of a minor will be available soon.

One major problem with hearing loss is thatAbout 90% of the time the loss is so subtle and slowly that people do not realize, more and more, until it is too late and there was a slight decline. In addition, the musicians probably do not feel alone, but also ringing in the ears and pitch perception problems may cause pain, accidentally play a strong degree of C, rather than a straight C. Some musicians, particularly those who start as young as Geiger, began to lose his hearing at age 10.

ManyEar Musician now continue to monitor the sound level on stage during the recording, he said. These monitors seem small hearing aids with wires connected to them and able to control every musician to know exactly how strong that in one ear. Strangely, it was found out, the musicians who play classical music with hearing loss is more important that the rock musician. This is what you have done classical musicians to play a trend towards greaterConcerts, teach, many hours a day, and then practice several hours a day, in most cases they put in hours rather than the rock musician.

Music lovers should moderate over time, and amount of loud music to which their ears open.
